This has the effect of ignoring the return code of the action and thus avoiding the main installer rollback even if the related SecuRom check is aborted by the user by hitting Cancel.

I've also split the iso into 2 DVD5 with the installation sequence being DVD1->DVD2 (no need to reinsert DVD1). I've just used SND's conversion but with setup12.cab in DVD2 and obviously modifying the MEDIA table and putting setup12.cab on the second disc.
If you remove those custom actions the game explorer's shortcut on vista/win 7 will not be created for current user/all users.
You will have to manually create a shortcut to launch the game... its not a good thing

you're right, I didn't tested on Win7/Vista. But again there's a simple solution for that too: go in the InstallExecuteSequence table and navigate to the CreateShortcuts action and remove the condition "VersionNT<600" leaving it blank instead. In fact, the condition VersionNT<600 creates the shortcuts only if Windows is XP or lower. By removing it the shortcuts are always created. Tried and tested.
